Ellen under fire

Ellen DeGeneres is coming under fire for crossing picket lines, according to a report on several news stations and this story on WSYR. Ellen crossed picket lines to produce a new episode of her show, which many writers felt as an insult. While Letterman, Leno, O'Brien, Stewart and Colbert all declined to return to the air, DeGeneres is the first major cross of the line as far as comedian talk show hosts go. In the end, Ellen's move seems rather meaningless. If she continues to go with it should could pull the "only game in town" routine, but she may alienate more people that she gains by this move. Time will tell.
